It's your money. If you have the budget, I'd go straight for the MCS 2W.

I'm kicking myself for not doing that when I was building my E46. But I was throwing ~20k at it at the time so saving a few thousand here and there was more important. I made sure to get a Ground Control kit that could be reused if I swap dampers.

Regarding pads, as others said, you won't find a street-able pad that will work great on track and street. I run StopTech Sport Pads on my E92 M3, because it only sees 1-2 track days a year and only for giving demo rides to students.

If I run OEM pads on the E92 and drive flat out, I destroy them and will shatter rotors in a single day (or more often that not, half the day). The E92 is a heavy fucker to haul down from 140+ mph for 20 minutes at a time.
